Setting The Table

While mommy was making dinner she asked me to set the table. I got all of my dishes from the dishwasher and took them over to the end table in the family room. She was very impressed. I'm such a good helper.

Fridge Patrol

I am the fridge patrol. Every time my mom opens the fridge, I HAVE to be right there and check out everything that is within my reach. Sometimes my mom tries to only open the door wide enough to get her arm in and pull things out. I'm not sure why she does this. It's almost like she doesn't want me in the fridge for some strange reason. Oh well, maybe soon I'll be able to open the fridge myself! Haha! Watch out Mom!

4 Hour Nap

No joke. Today I took a four hour nap. I was SLEEPY! What tired me out enough to make me sleep from 12:30 to 4:30 today?

1. Well, last night I stayed up late playing with Uncle Curt, Aunt Holly, and Tucker.

2. Church wore me out today. I was so busy running around

with all of the kids. They all wanted to hold me and play with me.

3. I think I'm getting sick. I have a runny nose and the sneezies!

I feel so much better after my nap. I love a good nap.

Mommy's New Haircut

Today I got to play at my friend Jackson's house while his mommy cut my mommy's hair. I had so much fun! Jackson let me play with his cars and his cell phones! Then we chased each other up the stairs. We got to eat a snack together too. His mommy gave me candy corns, and I sure love those treats! When we got home, my mom made me take pictures with her and her new haircut. Here are some pictures of us being silly!

My First Prayer

Today I said my first prayer! Let me tell you how it happened. We were all sitting down for dinner. After my mom put my bib on, I folded my arms and started talking really low and quiet while looking down. I just babbled for about 30 seconds while my mom and dad just looked at me. When I was done, I unfolded my arms and looked up! They were so proud of me, but they were laughing too. I guess I'm just really cute when I say the prayer.

The New Cleaning Lady

I love to clean. While Mommy was cleaning yesterday, she gave me a Clorox wipe, and I cleaned my chair for fifteen minutes! She was so proud of me!

I'm Me!

I have my daddy's eyes and my mommy's nose.

I have my Grandma Nette's compassion and my Granpda Rob's sense of humor.

I have my Grandma Chris's toes and my Grandpa Mike's good looks.

I'm a little bit of everyone, but I'm still me!

Hep!

My mom and dad have been teaching me to say the word "help" when I want to get into my playroom. They don't like it when I whine. So, today I ran to my playroom door and said, "Hep!" They were so excited and proud of me. They gave me big hugs and kisses and told me I said my first word! I speak English!

I love to see the Temple

I love to see the temple.

I'm going there someday

To feel the Holy Spirit,

To listen and to pray.

For the temple is a house of God,

A place of love and beauty.

I'll prepare myself while I am young;

This is my sacred duty.

I love to see the temple.

I'll go inside someday.

I'll covenant with my Father;

I'll promise to obey.

For the temple is a holy place

Where we are sealed together.

As a child of God,

I've learned this truth;

A fam'ly is forever.

Goodbye Joshua

One of my very first friends is moving away. His name is Joshua, he is 6 months older than me. I will miss playing with him. Here we are with Jackson at his goodbye lunch. I'll miss you, Joshua!

July 4, 2009

Wow! What a fun holiday! I got to eat breakfast in the car, sit on the side of a street and have people throw candy at me, eat candy, play with my cousins, go swimming, and stay up way too late. I love this holiday! When is the next 4th of July?

Family Pictures

More pictures! I get my picture taken all the time, but this time I got to take pictures with my cousins and grandparents. Look how cute I am!

Farewell Obama Nation Party

The girls!

Me and my tiger friends...i loved watching them

We got to eat at a restaurant!

My first ferris wheel ride. Mommy held me super tight, but I'm adventurous and I wanted to be on my own!

That's just me pushing Syd in my stroller. I'm strong

We are stylin!

Grandpa threw us a big party, I'm not sure what it was for, but I got to fly to Houston with mommy and daddy. My cousins were all there too! I got to meet my cousin Keely for the very first time! I had so much fun swimming, playing, and sightseeing. Now that I'm home, I miss my cousins and grandma and grandpa. Mommy says that my Grandma Nett and Grandpa Rob are moving very far away to Singapore. I wish they lived closer to me.

Sleepy

I am so cute when I sleep. Sometimes Mommy and Daddy sneak in to look at me when I'm sleeping. I love my blankies and I like to sleep in weird positions. Bedtime is one of my favorite times of day. Mommy is so happy that I am such a great sleeper.

Now That I'm One

When I was none, my mommy and daddy carried me everywhere.

Now that I'm one, I run here, there and everywhere!

When I was none, I slept almost all day long.

Now that I'm one, I take naps and then I get to play!

When I was none, I cuddled with my mommy and daddy.

Now that I'm one, I don't have time to sit down and cuddle!

When I was none, my mommy and daddy had to do everything for me.

Now that I'm one, I do lots of things by myself!

When I was none, I liked to be swaddled tightly in a blanket.

Now that I'm one, I rub my blankie against my face until I'm fast asleep!

When I was none, I didn't play with friends.

Now that I'm one, I have lots of friends to laugh, run and play with!

When I was none, I didn't eat many foods.

Now that I'm one, I get to eat all kinds of yummy things!

When I was none, I couldn't talk.

Now that I'm one, I babble all day long.

When I was none, I didn't have any teeth.

Now that I'm one, I have 8 of them!

When I was none, I filled my home with love.

Now that I'm one, I fill my home with love and laughter.

Silly Balloon!

Today we went to a store and they gave me a balloon! I was so excited! I played with the balloon the whole way home. When we got home, I went to play upstairs in my room. My balloon was following me everywhere I went. I didn't know what was going on, and then my mom showed me that my balloon was stuck in my toasies! I'm a silly girl!

Eggstravaganza!

My first Easter was eggcelent! I got to go on an Easter egg hunt with my friend, Joshua. My mom hid a bunch of colored eggs in the grass and she let me crawl around to get them. But that wasn't even the best part... there were treats inside the eggs! When I would find an egg, I went straight to my mom and gave it to her so she could open it for me. Yummy! I'm not sure what this holiday is all about, but I'm lovin' it!

This is me on Easter morning. I found a little basket with a whole bunch of eggs, treats, and stuffed animals. The best part was my BIG, HUGE, EASTER BALL! It's almost as big as me, I love playing with it. My Grandma Smith gave me this pretty dress that I wore to church. When does Easter come again?

Me and my cute little Easter bum!
